Running Fedora 24 on this laptop w/kernel 4.8.14, and CentOS 7.2 on my big<br>
box.<br>
In the past the following command has changed the perms within a directory of<br>
.JPG files so that all of those files have the same perms:<br>
<br>
chmod 660 *.JPG<br>
<br>
Now it doesn't. On CentOS. Works just fine on this laptop w/Fedora 24 -- ON<br>
SOME DIRECTORIES!!! just not on the directories I need to have this work on.<br>
<br>
Specifically, I have some pix taken with an i-phone. They were transferred to<br>
a thumb drive and then to this laptop. The perms read: -rw-r--r-- and I want<br>
them to read: -rw-rw-r-- I would like to change the perms on both the thumb<br>
drive AND on the laptop.s hard drive.<br>
<br>
I've looked through the man page and, as is often the case, been unable to<br>
glean a clue.<br>
<br>
A clue would be appreciated.<br>
<br>
How do I change the perms from -rw-r--r-- on a set of jpg files within a<br>
single directory to -rw-rw-r-- ? And have it stick?<br>
<br>
